The document summarizes the passive design features of the GEO building in Malaysia that improve thermal comfort and reduce energy usage. The building is oriented with its long facades facing north and south to minimize direct sunlight. It has a stepped design that becomes wider at higher floors to provide self-shading. Insulation and double-glazed windows further reduce heat transfer. Daylighting is maximized through windows on the long facades and roof lights, while internal reflectors and overhangs prevent direct sunlight and direct light deeper inside. Together these passive design strategies maintain indoor temperatures close to outdoor levels.
For anyone concerned about the environment and reducing their carbon footprint, making homes and workspaces more energy efficient and green can help achieve that goal. Using energy efficient appliances certified by Energy Star and switching to LED lights, which use significantly less energy and last longer, are effective ways to conserve energy and reduce utility bills. Investing in solar panels, while an initial large cost, can save money in the long run and contribute to a healthier planet by using a renewable energy source. Properly insulating windows, doors, and walls can also help conserve energy by preventing heat loss through drafts.

Industrial relations deal with the relationships between workers, employers, and the government. The main aspects are how proceeds from work are divided as wages between different levels of employees. The objectives of industrial relations are to safeguard interests, avoid conflicts, establish growth, raise productivity, and have government control. The main actors in industrial relations are workers represented by trade unions, employers represented by employer associations, and the government representing society. In Nepal, there is mutual hostility between these groups, and disputes are often resolved through strikes with unacceptable labor practices still occurring and disputes handled through power rather than transparency.

It then describes the methodology for an energy efficient building project, including planning with an efficient building shape and materials like double glazed windows. Renewable energy systems like solar panels and rainwater harvesting are also discussed. The document analyzes the building design using software and presents the results, including reducing electricity costs. It concludes that solar energy is best for energy efficiency and cost savings over the long term.
Bioclimatic architecture considers the climate and environment of a building site to promote thermal comfort and reduce energy consumption through design. It draws from traditional vernacular architecture and aims to integrate buildings harmoniously with their surroundings. Key principles include passive solar design, using elements like orientation, shading, and thermal mass to minimize mechanical cooling/heating. Architects must analyze climate data and apply passive strategies appropriately to each project. The examples described, such as buildings in Rio de Janeiro and Mexico, illustrate how bioclimatic design strategies optimize natural lighting, ventilation, and solar protection to improve energy efficiency.
Building integrated photovoltaics (BIPV) can generate power on-site, reduce energy costs for lighting and cooling, and increase real estate values of buildings by integrating solar panels into building materials like the roof, skylights, facades, and more. BIPV provides energy generation and savings while allowing natural light and reducing heat gain and costs, providing both energy and aesthetic benefits. As more buildings are constructed globally each year, BIPV is a solution to reduce energy consumption and costs while meeting sustainability and efficiency standards.
Building integrated photovoltaics (BIPV) can generate power on-site, reduce energy costs for lighting and cooling, and increase real estate values of buildings by providing aesthetic, sustainable solutions for rooftops, facades, skylights, and other surfaces. BIPV modules replace conventional construction materials and turn building exterior surfaces into solar energy power plants to generate electricity while reducing a building's environmental impact and operational expenses.
The document is a case study on the passive cooling and natural lighting strategies used in the warehouse at Sekeping Serendah, Selangor, Malaysia. It discusses how large overhanging roofs, surrounding vegetation, and an open layout with minimal internal walls promote passive cooling through shading and cross ventilation. Skylights are also used to provide natural lighting. These passive design features help minimize energy consumption for cooling and lighting in the warehouse, reducing its environmental impact.

This document summarizes a presentation on retrofitting historic windows for energy savings rather than replacement. It discusses how window retrofits can achieve similar energy savings as new windows through options like weatherstripping, storm windows, insulating shades and films. A study found most retrofit options had better return on investment than full window replacement. The document outlines the components and repair processes for common wood and steel window types to maximize performance through maintenance and minor repairs. It emphasizes fixing other building envelope issues first before addressing windows to achieve the best energy savings.
This document discusses daylight design strategies for buildings. It notes that daylighting uses natural light to reduce energy consumption from artificial lighting while improving occupant well-being. Appropriate window placement, skylights, and building orientation maximize daylight penetration without exacerbating overheating. Daylighting design requires balancing harvest gains with minimizing solar heat, and becomes an integral part of low-energy building design from the start.

Comparative analysis between traditional aquaponics and reconstructed aquapon...bijceesjournal
The aquaponic system of planting is a method that does not require soil usage. It is a method that only needs water, fish, lava rocks (a substitute for soil), and plants. Aquaponic systems are sustainable and environmentally friendly. Its use not only helps to plant in small spaces but also helps reduce artificial chemical use and minimizes excess water use, as aquaponics consumes 90% less water than soil-based gardening. The study applied a descriptive and experimental design to assess and compare conventional and reconstructed aquaponic methods for reproducing tomatoes. The researchers created an observation checklist to determine the significant factors of the study. The study aims to determine the significant difference between traditional aquaponics and reconstructed aquaponics systems propagating tomatoes in terms of height, weight, girth, and number of fruits. The reconstructed aquaponics system’s higher growth yield results in a much more nourished crop than the traditional aquaponics system. It is superior in its number of fruits, height, weight, and girth measurement. Moreover, the reconstructed aquaponics system is proven to eliminate all the hindrances present in the traditional aquaponics system, which are overcrowding of fish, algae growth, pest problems, contaminated water, and dead fish.

This Case Study focuses on the
relation of a building’s design
with its achievement of energy
efficiency through glazing.
Introduction
3. AIS Glazing solutions
• Normally, glazing solutions for energy efficiency make
use of glass with a lower Solar Factor and lower U-
Value.
• It is successfully achieved energy efficiency using
glass with an optimum Solar Factor and U-Value and
higher VLT because of its optimal building design.
• As glazing solutions are expensive, this meant big
cost-savings and quicker recovery of investment.
4. AIS
• Classrooms located on the north side received diffused light and no
direct heat.
• South-facing classrooms were provided with a shading device to
prevent direct heat and glare.
• Buffer zones, created by placing the service areas along the east façade
and corridors along the west façade, prevented heat ingress in the
offices.
